Plus freight. You cant beat the ******* UPS gives you.
I paid $33.00 to ship a box from the post office today, it was like 7 pounds 15x12x10.... Shipping is BS these days.
Correction it was 9 pounds 6 ounces....... still $33.00 sucks ***, Fedex is the way to go for small stuff.

I have found that the usps is the best for shipping small packages, I ship alot of snowmobile parts and usps is usually the cheapest. They will ship fairly big packages also!

We shipped a box through ups and it was expensive, same size box and same weight fedex was close to 1/2 the cost. Either way shipping is fing insane! I have to ship a T-56 today with a clutch and flywheel, I am sure it's going to be outrageous also.

I just shipped a t-56, clutch, crossmember, and driveshaft out last week. Cost me $208. Don't ask me how, but I talked him down from $300! I used Central Freight.

I have a 28 inch tall tire in mine with no issues at all, stock wheel well.

And before someone beats me to it, I know there are 7 second cars running 275/60 15 radials....blah blah blah! I don't have a crew chief or a chassis wizard near by. So for me more rubber is the answer.
I am pretty sure you can fit a wider tire under a 3rd gen then a 4th with no mini tubs on both.
I have owned both. With a little cutting and welding you can fit a lot of tire in a third gen and it not stick out. Not a lot of people mini tubing third gens for that reason. Pics on thirdgen.org
Im sure you can talk to Madman about all that though.

but again, what does a mini tub have to do with tires sticking out?
you have to narrow the rear to get a big tire to tuck under the car. unless you drastically narrow, you dont need a mini tub kit. my 5.5bs wheels fit fine with a 13" wide tire without any mini tub

Your car has a lot more room in the rear for a wider tire then my 3rd gen. I have a stock width rear (which is 3" narrower then a 4th gen), so to run a tire 13" wide without a mini tub it HAS to stick out past the fender lip. When I say I want to "tuck" the tire, I just want it to be within the fender lip. Does this make sense?
it makes sense, but i keep telling you that there are many many 4th and 3rd gen fbodys that run the 295/315 (30" tall drag radial) and my 325 (28") drag radial without a mini tub kit needed.
i do realize that the 3rd gen quarterpanels do not bulge like the 4th gens but it isnt night and day difference. the 3rd gen rear being 1.5" narrower on each side is not the issue. its getting the right combination of wheel/tire/rear end width that you are ignoring.
my point was the mini tub kit is not the issue. if you want to run a 13" wide tire, you can do it on a 5.5" bs wheel, tucking the wheels nicely. you have not addressed teh real issue - narrow the rear and clearance the bump stop area and you are there. ofcourse this is on stock mounting points as well.
mini tub kits make it nice as you have even more room but it isnt truely necessary to run a wide tire and tuck them in
